Comment (by bonefish):

 Replying to [comment:1 axeld]:
 > I'm not sure what MAIL:name was even used for (not sure if it's a
 compatibility problem to leave it out),

 I believe MAIL:name contains the name of the `From:` or `To:` field
 (whichever applies), falling back to the address, if it doesn't have a
 name. So it's essentially a shorter, easier to read version of the header
 field and therefore what people who like easier to read prefer to display.
 If the attribute isn't created anymore, I would consider that a bug.
